ALFRED W. ANTHOINE, OF LEWISTON, MAINE.

GUARD FOR EYEGLASSES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 12, 1907.

Original application filed February 25, 1907. Serial No. 359.040. Divided and this application filed September 27. 1907. Serial No. 394876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED W. ANTHOINE; a citizen of the United States, residing at Lewiston, in the county of Androscoggin and State of Maine, have invented new and useful Improvements in Guards for Eyeglasses, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in nose guards for eye glasses and more particularly to means iorsupporting the nose guard and to means for rendering it easily and readily adjustable upon the nose.

The present invention is described in my application filed February 25, 1907, Serial Number 359,040 and is a division thereof.

In the drawing herewith accompanying and making part of this application, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved nose guard properly mounted and Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the nose guard and support therefor.

Same letters of reference refer to like parts.

In said drawings A represents a lens, B the bow, G the nose guard support and E the nose guard. The lens, bow and nose guard support are designed to be mounted in any suitable clamp D. The nose guard is provided intermediate its ends with a tongue or projection F by which it is secured to the support 0. The

support 0 has one end G adapted to be secured to clamp D and the other end H provided with an elongated socket l for the reception of the tongue or projection F. The support is provided with a post .l within said socket adapted to take into a hole K in said tongue. The socket is slightly longer and wider than said tongue, whereby the guard may have a slight rotary motion around said post and a slight movement in a plane transverse to the plane of the eye glass. Its ad vantages are that it is simple in construction and adjusts itself easily and automatically to the nose.

Having thus described my invention and its use I claim:

In an eye glass mount, the combination with-n nose guard support having a socket therein and a pivot post, of a nose guard having a projecting tongue adapted to take into said socket and a hole adapted to receive said post, said socket being somewhat greater than said tongue, whereby the guard may have a limited rotary motion around said post and a limited rocking motion upon said post.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses this 23d day of September, 1907.

In presence of- An'rrmn W. Tynan, CLIFTON LIAS.
